Anyway, all the air pressure on our planet results from gravity, not temperature or confinement or anything else. I dont doubt you analysed it Anthony, but you still havent seen, or aren't willing to admit , that you had it all wrong. Now what has the SOURCE of the air pressure got to do with the discussion ? Change of subject no 3. Last chance Anthony. Why would the non containment of the atmosphere prevent the ideal gas law in its form used by me not allow one to calculate the air density in the vicinity of an airport? That is what you have stated twice remember Anthony? |

Steve Foley writes: The 'disagreement' that comes to mind was when you were applying the incorrect trigonometric function to a vector analysis problem. Which problem was that? I know that when people learn something by rote, they often will not recognize equally valid statements of the theory behind what they've learned. *I've seen this happen even with extremely experienced pilots. *They learn something by rote, you give a theoretical explanation thereof that they've never heard, and since they don't know any underlying theory themselves (remember, they learned by rote), they think the theory is wrong. *It would be amusing if it were not so unfortunate. I guess you can simply re-define anything you choose. Unfortunately, the civilized world will probably disagree with your definitions as well. There are lots of stupid people in the world, and lots of people who are familiar with rote learning only. *Rote learning is what allows the majority of the population to survive in a technologically complex world. Yes Anthony there are lots of stupid people in the world, and people who can understand complex theory are definately in the minority, and as such they are highly respected people who will be in high demand and found in well paying jobs or self employment. Stupid people are mostly unemployed, or do low paid menial work or are just unemployable, and fortunately they dont fly planes. |

See,... there you go. You got yourself mad and dizzy at the same time. That's the MX dance. So sad to see so many victims. Best advice: Don't mud wrestle with a pig. You get all dirty,... and the pig really likes it. |

You get all dirty,... and the pig really likes it. I am not mad at all Mike, nor do I consider myself a victim. Its just a personal challenge I have set myself to see if it is possible to get Mx to admit that he is wrong. A bit of an experiment if you like. I find him an interesting character and have changed my mind about him a couple of times. I was orignially one of those who thought he was being hard done by on this group. For the record I dont think Mxs is a troll at all, I think he has a genuine interest in aviation, and I would be more than happy to assist him in his endeavours to learn more, if only he wasnt , to use his own word, refractory to reason, and would show at least a modicom of common manners to those who try to help him. I stand by my comments about stupid people , but notice I didnt actually call Mxs a stupid person, I left that for him to ponder himself. Terry PPL |

You're two-thirds correct. While intelligence or acquired skills do generally correlate well with material success, they are hardly a guarantee. There are many stupid and incompetent people occupying highly-paid jobs, and there are many competent and intelligent people who cannot find jobs. If the correlation were complete, someone like Stephen Hawking, a respected and competent scientist, would be making far more than someone like Carly Fiorina, who was paid $45 million as reward for being fired and nearly driving HP into bankruptcy. Stupid people are mostly unemployed, or do low paid menial work or are just unemployable, and fortunately they dont fly planes. There's a threshold of intelligence required to fly an airplane, but it's not as high as many pilots like to believe. |

The gas 'laws' are approximations and fail to be predictive except within certain ranges, just as Newtonian physics are valid only in certain ranges.. |
